The phone rang at 3AM- no one is willing to answer it yet.

This ends one of 2 ways depending on the attitude of the current govt.
1. The Chinese option. Take a hard line. Send in the tanks and kill enough demonstraters to get your point across. Effective but requires a brutal and ruthless govt willing to kill its own people to stay in power.

2. The Russian Option. Concede to some demands and hope to stay in power as long as possible. Requires a govt not willing to kill thousands to stay in control. Once the people see the govt will not kill them, they make more and more demands until they force the current leaders from power. Hopefully one day we can call this the “American Option”.

Hey Iranians. Islam IS the problem. Destroy the mosques and hang the Imams and Ayahtollahs and you’ll be 90% down the road toward a solution to all of your problems.

Send in the Shah.

But, the mullahs are so manly...

Hooray for the MORAL COURAGE of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney!

Iran might not blow this time - but they will soon. Bye bye Mullahs.

* Ahmadinejad opponents cited proof of the rigged election, including figures that showed more than 30 Iranian towns cast more votes than they had registered voters.

Hmmmm...Throughout my entire adult life, AND especially the last few elections, in a number of locales, we've had a number of precincts reported their tally 113-116% of the registered voters. Yet, though it was reported...nothing...nothing ever came about it. No follow-up investigation, no queries into these discrepancies. No wonder the populace are so jaded...so fraught with exasperation.

One town, Taft, had a turnout of 141 percent, an opposition Web site said. Another town, Kouhrang, had 132 percent.

Wow! Baltimordor and Chigago never quite manage such amazing civic-mindedness.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Since when did Iran have a vote? I thought they just had a fastest camel election?

LOL!! They're as shameless as Democrats when it comes to rigging elections!

And still they are pouring into the streets. Their courage and resolve is humbling.

A group called the Association of Human Rights Activists in Iran said that as many as 32 people had been killed in protests -- much higher than the previously reported toll

The top prosecutor in the central Iranian province of Isfahan warned that Iranians responsible for the upheaval could face the death penalty.

Estimates of the size of the march in Tehran's Haft-e Tir Square ranged from 100,000 to 500,000 people

ACORN has obviously been at work in the Iranian election.
